HB12 a bill introduced by Rep. John Rogers that would repeal the law against the sale of adult novelty devices is coming up in the House Judiciary Committee in Wednesday, April 16 at 8:45 a.m.
I plan to be at that committee meeting. I know y'all remember all the fun we had a few months ago with the Sex Toys for Troy King (page 2) action. That action was inspired by the current law which outlaws the sale of these devices to adults in the state of Alabama. Troy King was the target of the action because he said he planned to try and make the anti-obscenity law in Alabama tougher. Troy might be there since it means so much to him to have control of what citizens are doing in their bedrooms and Dan Ireland and his minions are almost certain to be there which will make for a very memorable day.
I have some pig buttons made that have the pig featured in the original cartoon emblazoned upon them. If your coming to the committee meeting I'll give you one of the ten or so that I have.
Since I will also be working on puppets tomorrow then perhaps I'll make a pig puppet as well.
In the meantime please contact the House Judiciary committee and ask them to pass HB12.
When you contact them you could say something like
"Alabama government has no business regulating what consenting Alabama adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom."
Point out that the 5th Circuit Court overturned a Texas law against the sale of sex toys in Feb. of this year. Point out that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals while upholding the ban stated "If the people of Alabama in time decide that a prohibition on sex toys is misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly," the court wrote, "they can repeal the law and be finished with the matter."
Point out to them that many of the states newspaper editorial boards, including the Mobile Press-Register, the Tuscaloosa News, the Times Daily , and the Birmingham News have called for a repeal of the sex toy ban.
You might also send them these cartoons and remind them of the public humiliation that recently befell an elected official who thwarted the will of the people on this issue.

The entire legislature should be embarrassed for the entire state about the personally invasive, unnecessary, and (as the 11th Circuit wisely said) silly law now on the books.....but too many legislators up until now seem to have no sense of shame regarding this and numerous other matters.
Someone should buy one of those foot-long cucumbers and take it and a dildo to the meeting and ask the members what anyone could possible do with the dildo that they couldn’t do with the cuke. Then tell them they should either change the law, or outlaw the purchase and/or growing of cukes. LMAO!!
